LOOK BACK IN ANGER
Year: 2005 / 2006
Character: Jimmy Porter
Production Company / Theatre: Theatre Royal, Bath and Royal Lyceum Theatre
Look Back in Anger (1956) is a realist play written by John Osborne.

The supporting characters include Cliff Lewis, an amiable Welsh lodger who attempts to keep the peace, and Helena Charles, Alison's snobbish friend.
Osborne drew inspiration from his personal life and failing marriage with Pamela Lane while writing Look Back in Anger, which was his first successful outing as a playwright. The play spawned the term "angry young men" to describe Osborne and those of his generation who employed the harshness of realism in the theatre in contrast to the more escapist theatre that characterized the previous generation.
In 2006 David Tennant performed as Jimmy Porter again, in a staged reading of the play at London's Royal Court Theatre.

The Rivals is a comedy of manners by Richard Brinsley Sheridan in five acts which was first performed at Covent Garden Theatre on 17 January 1775.
The play is set in Bath in the 18th century, a town legendary for conspicuous consumption and fashion at the time.

Both Sir Anthony and Mrs Malaprop, Lydia's aunt, want to prevent their secret romance. Mrs Malaprop wants Lydia to marry for financial reasons.

It has been adapted for opera, stage, screen and musical theatre numerous times worldwide.
The Comedy of Errors tells the story of two sets of identical twins that were accidentally separated at birth (Shakespeare was father to one pair of twins).
